As far as I read on Reddit, he is out of his country now, probably he is in China now. Whatever, Cryptsy is Gox v2. It says there that Marshall Long is an advisor of Factom. That's been pumped massively today and there was a post saying it's all based on bullshit that Microsoft are backing it. It reminds me of the Paycoin scam as it's making millions. Marshall could dump the Bitcoins he gets from it and hide out in China with Big Vern. |

https://bitcoinclassic.com/soon we will have x different versions of Bitcoin. Bitcoin Classic, Bitcoin Real, Bitcoin Original, you name it. honestly, better expect double digits and keep your wallets synced! I doubt this "alt-bitcoin" will have enough consensus to be adopted. The new versions of Bitcoin remind me of altcoins, and their proliferation might be as exponential. We only have a few now, but in a few months there could be thousands of different versions of Bitcoin. Each time I read this thread there's talk of a fresh new version of Bitcoin. Will they die quickly like most altcoins? |

The Only reason for us to be HERE IS MONEY So why the bullshit ?.
We are really evil motherfuckers no wonder why the world is full of corruption...
Wanting money doesn't make people evil. Most people only do their day jobs to get money, but it doesn't make them evil. They need money to survive, buy food, pay the bills. Most overnight millionaires give up their day job because they have enough to live off without having to work. They didn't do their jobs for pleasure, they did them for money. |

My theory is that person 1 makes a silly topic in order for person 2 (and each is an alt of the other) to post and get paid via sig campaign. And I agree, these questions and topics are absolutely stupid and I have no doubt that the people who start them are not interested in what I think about the future of bitcoin...or anything else.
The silly topics help contain the sig spammers to those threads and keep their spam out of the higher quality threads. A quick look at the title of most silly topics is enough to let you know it's full of spam. Don't look at any topics with silly titles and you will avoid most of the spam on this forum. |

That link only leads to the auctions board in the marketplace. I had a quick look and found this thread auctioning a $ 1,025,637.26 BTC account. $ 1,025,637.26 BTC account for sale.That isn't you is it?  What are you selling, in which threads, and how many BTC are your total assets likely to fetch? edit I found this thread where you are selling what looks like a physical Bitcoin to me. You won't sell it for less than one Bitcoin will you, as it looks like it's worth that already? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1283727 |

Theymo's evidence convinces me that email isn't from Satoshi, and gmaxwell's evidence convinces me that Craig Wright isn't Satoshi. Craig Wright was trying to start a Bitcoin bank, and if he had succeeded he would have made a worse job of it than Mark Karples made of Gox. I'm glad the community found out about his con before he had the chance to do any real damage to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Last year there were dumps after black Friday/cyber Monday, but this year doesn't have to have the same pattern of events. Nobody really knows what the price will do in the short or long term, the best you will get is a guess. Make up your own mind, anyone giving you advice could have a hidden agenda.

Likely some variance that averages out over the long term
There is also the possibility some trading bot was trying to execute a strategy of sorts, volume is somewhat artificial at 0% after all.
Of course it is some kind of trading bot trading its own coins back and forth. No way is there so much 'real' volume with such low price movements. Customer's bots are free to do what they like on the Chinese exchanges without fees. The other Chinese exchanges will charge customer's bots to fake the volume, but the exchanges own bots can do what they like for free. Gox charged fees but ran its own fake volume bots and any other unregulated exchange can do the same. |

though nothing beats your memory. but... use a SHA hasher inline with your memory that way it adds entropy. EG 'apple pear banana 69 69' becomes: 8e644805af6f009e83cb5cbc5d8dbfb77298cd69d3f4acf5bed70457b553e054 so just remembering 5 items, gives you 64 characters that you dont have to remember, far better then the 20 characters of your memorized words an example is http://www.xorbin.com/tools/sha256-hash-calculatorbut its best you find an offline tool so that your not reliant on a online service that may change its parameters or just goes offline without notice That's a good idea in theory, but in reality some websites ask for passwords that include special characters, and both upper and lower case letters. Some websites restrict the length of the password you are allowed to less than 64 characters. Your SHA hasher password would only work for websites without any of those password restrictions. |

BlindMayorBitcorn using ChartBuddy's avatar is getting confusing. All the posts on the previous page looked like they were by the same person because there was only the two of them posting. BlindMayorBitcorn's been changing his avatar every other day this week so if we get lucky he could change it again today.

It only took 150 Bitcoins to pump the Gemini price to $2200, then send it straight back down to $330. That few Bitcoins wouldn't make a dent on the walls of the other exchanges. It's a demonstration of how small the Gemini walls are. I never anticipated pump tricks on a fully regulated exchange either. Gemini was intended to be above all that.  |

A legendary member had explained how these addresses are generated. It's not that link, however generating an address like this i think it takes lots of years (or simple impossible) using vanity. Q7 i think it would a good idea to have an easy-to-remember address but the possibility is zero. That link is to a sort of "mining pool" that Otoh started for for creating vanity addresses, which is still operational. A few years ago he made this post showing the "longest" address his "pool" had managed to generate. I think generating anywhere beyond nine chosen characters is very difficult and too time consuming. The longest to date generated by ThePiachu's Vanity Pool & thread btw is 9 chars after the initial 1 for 1 ELiZABETHdzGTuQeg2RnCcWBMVo3ySfTz that I'd requested as a gift for someone. Vanity addresses could be useful if used by top rich list holders such as exchanges to let people know who owns a top wallet. |

He's in police custody because the Japanese police arrested him again for stealing customer's money and Bitcoins. That gives them the power to hold him in their custody for a few more weeks of questioning. He's facing new charges over spending customer's money hookers too, but I'm not sure if using them is illegal or not in Japan, so he might not be charged with using them. https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/mt-goxs-mark-karpeles-spent-money-prostitutes-faces-new-charges/New embezzlement charges have been filed against Mark Karpeles for moving $20 million worth of yen in client money to his bank account and spending an unspecified sum on prostitutes, reported Astro Awani in Malaysia. Karpeles already faces fraud charges for the disappearance of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of the virtual currency from Mt. Gox, the now defunct Tokyo-based exchange.Mt. Gox
Citing Yomiuri, a Japanese newspaper, Astro Awani reported Karpeles spent an unspecified sum on prostitutes while the Jiji Press news agency in Japan said the charges involve "several women whom he met at venues that offer sexual services," citing police sources.
...
Authorities arrested him again for allegedly stealing 321 million yen worth of bitcoin. This arrest extended his incarceration. Authorities indicated the new arrest allows police to detain him for several more weeks, which will give them more time to question him about the demise of Mt. Gox. |

It's possible to hack an online wallet, but it's almost impossible to hack a wallet installed on your computer if you have also installed up to date antivirus software and a firewall. If you control your Bitcoin private key generated by your wallet installed on your computer then your Bitcoins cannot be stolen by directly hacking your Bitcoin wallet. The only way your Bitcoins stored on your computer can be stolen is if your computer gets hacked, or infected with a virus.
Online wallets are sometimes hacked, but whoever runs the online wallet controls your Bitcoins, and how secure the wallet is depends on their coding skills.

well, they had plenty of time already to acquire 'institutional' clients, since it is not because the website launches that they did not prepared upstream for important users to use the platform, even before any public launch.. anyway.
agree that interesting times lies ahead.
i get this feeling the rest of the financial world, as it obsessively misdirect people into 'blockchain technology' propaganda, is on the edge here and things are accelerating somehow as the end of the year approaches. will their status quo stand a couple more year? hard to say.
I was actually talking about the exchange itself. It takes time to accumulate volume and for the service to mature. I'm just hoping that there are no errors or bugs that would harm them so early. Besides, you have to remember the amount of time it takes to verify an account and transfer money to the exchange.
It would be nice if the price went up even higher. The absurd "Regulated Exchange" era of Bitcoin is nothing more than a millimetre thin geologic layer in the advance towards domination. Bitcoin price will surge at some point, and neither regulations, institutions, governance or whatever other deluded mass-marketed socialist businesses will have anything to do with it, ever. A decentralized exchange could do more for Bitcoin than a regulated exchange. I'd rather use a decentralized exchange and trust nobody with my Bitcoins than use some regulated exchange that requires KYC, fingerprint samples, blood samples, and an iris scan just to register. There are masses of people who don't trust the unregulated exchanges, but don't want to go through KYC to use fully regulated ones. |

A trademark has to be distinctive to be accepted as the intellectual property of a company by the regulators. Any Bitcoin related phrases aren't distinctive enough to pass the registration process. You see Bitcoin logos and phrases everywhere on the internet. How could you identify any company that uses a well known Bitcoin logo or phrase that everyone else is already using?

You seem to be looking at incentives for buyers, but what about sellers? They're the ones who decide to sell at a lower rate than they could get elsewhere, so I'm guessing the answer lies with them. What withdrawal options does BTC-E offer - I assume ID verification is not an issue there unlike other exchanges...
Their site FAQ suggests they accept bank transfer deposits, but refuse to send money out via bank transfers. I have never traded there so I have no direct experience of making deposits or withdrawals. However, their FAQ offers far more forms of deposit than forms of withdrawal. It mentions Western Union, and Dwolla as acceptable for withdrawals, although the fees for both of them must be quite hefty. Do you accept any alternate forms of payment such as Debit/Credit Cards?
At this time, BTC-e is currently not accepting any of these payment methods. All transactions carried out on our website are irreversible; therefore use of payment methods that are reversible would be a detrimental venture for us. The presently supported payment methods are : US Bank Wire, EU Bank Wire (SEPA), Visa, Mastercard, Liqpay.com, unikarta.com, PerfectMoney.com, WebCreds.com, Ukash.com, Webmoney.ru. Do you fulfill any requests to send money or carry out currency exchanges via government fiat?
Unfortunately, we do not fulfill any such requests. We choose to carry out business using registered companies such as Western Union, Dwolla, and other well-known financial companies to carry out our transfers. |

I thought the ETF was meant to be ready for the end of 2014. In that time, someone else has beaten winklevoss to launching a bitcoin ETF.
Pretty sure the last quarter of 2015 is what they were mentioning and shooting for. We're just entering this quarter and things seem to be progressing. What is it stopping them from launching sooner? First mover advantage is now lost. They have to get approval from a US government body called the securities and exchange commission (SEC) before they can launch the ETF. The SEC moves at a glacial pace and can take years to decide whether to grant or deny approval. There is nothing the twins can do to make the SEC speed up, they can only wait for its decision. The Gemini exchange could open before the ETF but that still needs to wait untl it gets permission to open from some other regulators. |

The sites looks like a scamm, did you try to call their offices and verify who is behind this store ? If possible try to visit their offices just to make sure they are legit.
Although a virustotal scan says the site is clean I'm not prepared to visit it to find out if there's an office address. I would expect a legit company to register its domain using its office address, but a who.is check shows its hiding its registrant name and address behind a service in Panama. Anyone asking for large sums of money while hiding their identity isn't worth trusting. There's nothing to stop them disappearing with the money. http://who.is/whois/cryptocoinmachines.comDomain Name: CRYPTOCOINMACHINES.COM Registry Domain ID: 1899611886_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.enom.com Registrar URL: www.enom.com Updated Date: 2015-01-31T07:17:44.00Z Creation Date: 2015-01-31T15:17:00.00Z Registrar Registration Expiration Date: 2016-01-31T15:17:00.00Z Registrar: ENOM, INC.

has anyone ever even sent a tx with a 1btc fee?  thats hard to imagine When Bitstamp was hacked the hacker got the Bitcoins out fast using 1btc fees for every transaction. After Bitstamp realised it had been hacked there was a race between Bitstamp and the hacker to be the one to move the coins first because they both had the private keys. The hacker paid 1btc fees to make the miners include his transaction in the next block rather than Bitstamp's transaction. |
